The Science of Cannabis Cultivation

Cannabis cultivation involves growing plants with specific needs for light, water, nutrients, and environment to produce healthy, potent flowers. The plant requires ample light—often from sunlight or grow lights—for photosynthesis, which fuels its growth. Proper watering and nutrient levels (like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) support development. Temperature and humidity are carefully controlled to prevent pests and mold. Cultivators prune and harvest at the right time to maximize potency and yield. Understanding the plant's lifecycle—from seedling to flowering—is essential for optimal results. Good cultivation combines science and art to produce quality cannabis safely and efficiently.
